good one with heave ho ellie- I tried to work out what you'd have to take out from headoverheals but I'm rubbish at doing these without pen and paper

[teacher1]

So it looks like -

Holy days
Orpine
Heave-ho

Thank you so much. ;o)

2 ^ orpin sounds like 'opt in'=deal??

[Mamyalynne]

Possibly - Or

Deal - Pine (wood)

[fiction-factory]

No- simply orpine http://www.dictionary.com/browse/orpine?s=t
and possibly deal = or pine
double def

[elliemay1]

That's better Mamyalynne!
